Raffaello: la Madonna del Divino Amore
The Madonna of Divine Love was recalled by Giorgio Vasari in his Life of Raphael (1550) as being one of the most beautiful works of the great painter’s Roman period. The painting, preserved in the Capodimonte Museum, is due to arrive in Turin for the first time ever for its exceptional exhibition in the Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli.
The volume that accompanies the exhibition is an up-to-date as well as exhaustive monograph on Raphael’s masterpiece. The critical contributions by the curators Angela Cerasuolo, Marina Santucci and Patrizia Piscitello, enriched with a precious iconographic apparatus, reconstruct the historiographic events surrounding the work in great detail, and present the results of the painting’s analysis and recent restoration, casting new light on the genesis of this cornerstone of Renaissance art.
